We have a land in my mother's name and when she purchased the land in the year of 1982 my father had given the total contribution amount to purchase the property and get it registered in my mother's name. After that my father has developed a building on that land and it was also his contribution. The total amount he contributed has shown into his Income tax file because he is the Real owner and my mother is the Apparent owner as per my income tax lawywer's view. But as per the civil law my mother is the actual owner of that property. Later on we have given the ground floor to a Bank on rent and the other floor to other tenants. The total rental income till today is shown in my father's file and he is paying all the tax amount till today. But very recently as per the latest agreement, bank has increased the rent, as a result they will deduct TDS from the rent and they will issue the certificate in my mother's name and the income we have shown in father's file so we will not get the claim and in stead of getting the claim on TDS my father has to pay taxes extra. So we have to loss a huge amount. In one hand bank will deduct the TDS and another my father has to pay tax as he will show the rental income in his file. So, please tell us what should I do to resolve the matter so that I won't have pay double tax for a single income.

see you wont have to pay double tax anyways. if you are offering the said income in your father's tax return, you can claim refund for the TDS deducted against your mother's PAN.
